TALENT SPARKLES ON OCT. 13

The Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion Committee invites you to the Goodwin Living Talent show on Friday, October 13 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at The View Alexandria (TVA). There will be an intermission at approximately 3:00 p.m. Due to the limited parking at TVA, residents and staff are encouraged to utilize the round-trip transportation shuttle that will be offered by signing up using this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JDNWDP2. The shuttles will begin departing at 1:00 p.m. You will be given your shuttle departure time prior to the event. Residents who do not use a computer and would like to sign up for transportation may do so in the Resident Business Center. If you are unable to attend in person, a recording will be available in the weeks following the show. Questions? Contact Catie Ramos at ext. 7209 or cramos@goodwinliving.org.

YOUR WEBSITE NEEDS YOU
The GHBC resident website is supported by contributions from residents through the Goodwin Living Foundation. After nine years, our website needs upgrading, a job expected to cost about $8,000. A huge thank you to the ten residents who recently donated $2,400 toward the website’s maintenance. If you value the contribution the website makes to our community, consider making your tax-deductible donation, payable to the Goodwin Living Foundation, with "Resident Website" in the memo line. Thank you. We will be upgrading in October, so if there is a feature you have longed to see, let the website team know. We will consider all requests and add those most widely useful that we can pay with available funds. Send your requests to Claudia Blake, blake.claudia@gmail.com
 
FLU VACCINES OCT. 3-4
The GHBC flu vaccine clinic will be held Tuesday, October 3, and Wednesday, October 4, in the Auditorium. At this time, the Van Dorn Pharmacy has not been able to obtain the new covid monovalent booster. GHBC management will provide additional information if the pharmacy is able to offer the updated covid vaccine at our upcoming flu clinic. You should receive your packet with your appointment times for the flu clinic and forms to complete in your mailbox at the end of next week. Questions? Contact ghbcvax@goodwinliving.org.
